ULTRACOLOR SOFT FOCUS
Ultracolor Soft Focus Concept
Basic Concept: A material with a high
index of refraction is coated around a material with low index of refraction to
produce a light emission that interferes with the wavelengths of visible light.
In this case the high index of refraction materials are titanium dioxide and
iron oxide and the low index of refraction materials are talc in a platelet form
and spherical polyethylene. Light shining on the Ultracolor Soft Focus pigment
is partly reflected at the surface but most of the light passes through the high
index of refraction material and enters the low index of refraction material.
The light traveling through the low index of refraction material reflects most
of the light back when it comes in contact with the underside of the high index
of refraction material. Only a small amount of light is emitted each time the
light bounces off the interior wall. In a similar manner any light passing
through the material and reflecting off the surface of the skin will also under
go the same process. Because the light is emitted in a similar manner to that of
fluorescent light, that is in small quantum’s of light, the imperfections in the
skin as well as blemishes, pimples and small wrinkles will not be visible. Since
the effect is not based on the scattering of light, but on an optical effect of
the material when applied, the skin appears bright. The effect is a skin
appearance that looks younger and healthier with a coverage similar to a matte
effect without the dull matte appearance. It is matte without flat.
